The plan would form part of a broader package of measures to transform Britain into a low-carbon nation and would mean only zero- or low-carbon vehicles being sold after a set cut-off date, dramatically reducing air pollution and potentially saving thousands of lives.
Corbyn is exploring plans to reduce the powers of the big six electricity providers by allowing any individual who generates electricity to sell it to their neighbours. There is also a proposal for a new system to speed up the upgrading of British homes to make them more energy-efficient, saving people hundreds of pounds on energy bills.

Norway has already announced it wants to ban the sale of fossil fuel-based cars in the next decade, continuing its trend towards becoming one of the most ecologically progressive countries on the planet. The Dutch Labour Party wants to ban the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2025.
